Pondering...

This week in my creative space I've been pondering yarn projects:

I want to make a Tea Leaves cardigan, but don't think I can quite justify the cost of the Madelinetosh, so I've been browsing on line, Spotlight & Lincraft (finished the Schoolboy's cardigan with Bendigo Woollen Mills' Luxury, and it looks pilled after three wears and no washing, so I'm not in a hurry to go back there...);

I've been wondering what a fine version of French Knitting would look like as a necklace, and how I'd manage to make something as fine as I'm thinking of; and

... I've been told this afternoon that the lady at the wool store in Watsonia is having a 'closing down because I'm retiring' sale, so hopefully my source is right and she's not sold out before I can get there!

Am doing a Tea Leaves for Miss Six and will soon start one for myself using Bendigo Woollen Mills' yarn. It's good fun! Also have yarn lined up for one for Miss Three but with a jumper also on the go for my Gadgetman it might be next season before I start hers!

Welcome!

I'm Jackie, and I love the creative process. I like to tackle new craft/construction projects for the challenge of working out the 'how' as much as actually sitting down and doing it (so I always have at least one project on my mind). I particularly like making something out of 'nothing' just for the thrill of seeing something apparently useless/surplus having a new lease on life.

I hope to give you some examples and instructions in this blog - things I'm working on/like the look of/plan to get to someday. Do with it what you will, but if it gives you some inspiration then great!
